Stress and insufficient sleep are the two common triggers of sleep talking. It can happen to anyone at anytime. And although it appears to be more common in children, it can also be something one develops in adulthood. Studies also revealed that sleep talking may be hereditary. So if your parents or other family members have experienced this, then it is highly likely that you'll develop this kind of sleep disorder. Sleep talkers are suggested to avoid thinking too much, as this reduces the physical and emotional stress that may be associated to sleep talking. It may also be helpful if you will record your sleeping patterns just so you'll be able to monitor or adjust your daily routine. More importantly, you should make it a point to get enough sleep. Although it is not a serious medical condition, sleep talkers are also most likely to develop sleep walking disorder and sleep apnea. Hence, it would be best to consult a specialist if this happens to you very often.
